Notes

This is just amazing. However i made a mistake the second time around and accidentally made it with rice vineger instead of balsamic and it still tasted delish. So after that i used just a 1/4 cup of balsamic and 1/4 cup of rice vineger and it gives it a more delicate and sweet taste. Also good using Wings insted of drumsticks, the wings keep the skin better.
It turned out very well and very easy. It thickened up fine, didn’t take too long and the flavor was very very good.
Those look incredible. I would avoid using cheap industrial soy sauce, however, as the corn syrup and glucose it contains could ruin your recipe.
Excellent photography by the way!
Thanks Alex! And I used Kikkoman soy sauce and not VH 🙂
